Chapter 67 - The body heals, but the Heart can hurt for ages.

Heart had no idea how long he sat there and cried in both of Kit and Ten's arms. Both Kit and Ten made soothing comments as they stroked his hair and exchanged worried glances over his head they thought he wasn't aware of. But Heart had been in charge of watching over Saint since August and it was already December he was aware of the sidelong glances that Kit was able to do to communicate with people. Heart knew he was worrying everyone, especially Kit and Ten right now. But he could not stop the flow of his tears any more than he could stop himself from loving the wonderful people in his life. Grief welled inside him like crashing waves, overwhelming him until all he could think about was Num's curious yellow eyes, the way she used to dutifully follow him around like a shadow.
